Data-driven discovery and extrapolation of parameterized pattern-forming dynamics

Abstract

Pattern-forming systems can exhibit a diverse array of complex behaviors as external parameters are varied, enabling a variety of useful functions in biological and engineered systems. First-principles derivations of the underlying transitions can be characterized using bifurcation theory on model systems whose governing equations are known. In contrast, data-driven methods for more complicated and realistic systems whose governing evolution dynamics are unknown have only recently been developed. Here we develop a data-driven approach, the {\em sparse identification for nonlinear dynamics with control parameters} (SINDyCP), to discover dynamics for systems with adjustable control parameters, such as an external driving strength. We demonstrate the method on systems of varying complexity, ranging from discrete maps to systems of partial differential equations. To mitigate the impact of measurement noise, we also develop a weak formulation of SINDyCP and assess its performance on noisy data. We demonstrate applications including the discovery of universal pattern-formation equations, and their bifurcation dependencies, directly from data accessible from experiments and the extrapolation of predictions beyond the weakly nonlinear regime near the onset of an instability.
